dpssingle_targetcryocrit
Rated as a top-tier 6-Star striker built entirely around deleting one target at a time. Her Ultimate-driven burst makes her one of the strongest single-target damage dealers available, and with heavy investment she can sweep RE-Crisis bosses for trimmed medals with little effort.
endgamedpslate_gamecritsingle_targetcryoburst
This is Yvonne's fully invested single-target build. Artzy Tyrannical supplies the Cryo, Intellect, and Crit she scales on, and the four-piece MI Security setup converts her constant critical hits into rolling ATK and extra Crit Rate. Because her Ultimate grants stacked Crit Rate and enhanced Basic Attacks, the set bonus stays saturated while she burns down a Staggered and Solidified target. The result is a build that deletes single bosses and high-value elites, with Navigator as the closest alternative and Wedge or Howling Guard as availability-driven stand-ins.

Explanation
Artzy Tyrannical is chosen because it feeds the exact trio her kit wants: Cryo output, Intellect, and Crit.
MI Security is picked because Crit Rate and ATK are her highest-value combat stats, and she can keep the crit-triggered stacks rolling.
Navigator is a near-equivalent sidegrade but is tied to the battlepass, Wedge works as a stat-flexible fallback, and Howling Guard is the budget pick when nothing better is owned.
Notes
- Stat goals are Intellect, Crit, Cryo DMG, Basic Attack DMG, and ATK, which line up with every part of her kit.
- MI Security delivers about 25% ATK and 10% Crit Rate from its set bonus, on top of the individual piece stats and effects.
- Her fast Ultimate-driven Basic Attacks crit often, so the set bonus stacks stay close to maximum during damage windows.
early gamedpsbeginnerearly_gamebudgetleveling
A straightforward leveling build for Yvonne while resources are tight. Wedge provides Crit and Arts damage so her Basics and Ultimate still hit respectably, and Mordvolt Insulation layers on flat Intellect plus an Arts damage bonus she can keep active by staying healthy. It is not meant to be permanent: the point is to bridge the early progression window around level 15 to 30 and then transition into the MI Security endgame setup. Howling Guard can substitute if Wedge is not owned, though it is the weaker option.

Explanation
Wedge is the early pick because it hands over Crit stats and Arts DMG that suit her scaling.
Mordvolt Insulation adds Intellect directly and boosts Arts damage while her HP stays high, matching how she deals damage.
This setup is meant for roughly levels 15 to 30 before swapping into a stronger endgame gear set.
Notes
- Wedge supplies Crit and Arts damage, which is plenty while leveling.
- Howling Guard works as a filler option if nothing better is available, though its base stats are low.
- Mordvolt Insulation's Intellect bonus plus its Arts DMG effect carry her until a stronger set is farmed.
Build Insights
Yvonne fills the dedicated single-target DPS slot and is usually played as the controlled operator so you can steer her Final Strikes and Ultimate windows precisely. She wants teammates that apply Cryo Infliction or other Arts debuffs, since those unlock Solidification through her Battle Skill and double the Crit DMG she gains from Freezing Point. Typical comps pair her with Cryo appliers and buffers that amplify her Cryo output, while a defender or support holds the line during her Ultimate channel. Positioning matters less than timing: she should be steered onto the priority target once it is Staggered and Solidified, because that is when her Ultimate and Frost-e-Bytee damage overlap most efficiently. Outside of those windows she contributes steady Basic Attack pressure rather than area coverage.
Core Mechanics
- Yvonne's kit centers on Solidification: her Battle Skill consumes Cryo or Nature Infliction stacks to force Solidification and refunds Ultimate Energy based on how many stacks were eaten.
- Landing a Final Strike on a Solidified enemy triggers her Combo Skill, which summons Frost-e-Bytee to pull enemies together, chip them with periodic Cryo hits, and reapply Solidification on expiry.
- Her Ultimate deploys Tink-a-Bella and swaps her into enhanced Basic Attacks, granting stacking Crit Rate and a Crit DMG payoff at max stacks, then finishing with a large Cryo Final Strike.
Scaling
- Her damage profile rewards Intellect, Crit, Cryo DMG, Basic Attack DMG, and raw ATK, so she keeps improving as gear and investment climb.
- She scales especially hard late because her Ultimate multipliers and self-buffs compound with high Crit investment.
- Her real ceiling depends on the team supplying Cryo Infliction, which doubles her Freezing Point Crit DMG bonus and lets her chain Solidification.
Character Notes
Yvonne is a 6-Star Cryo Striker who wields a Handcannon and functions as a premier single-target damage dealer. Her identity revolves around forcing Solidification on enemies, then cashing in on that state with a Final Strike that summons her Frost-e-Bytee drone and an Ultimate that flips her into a rapid-fire Basic Attack mode with stacking Crit. She is at her best when the team feeds her Cryo Infliction and holds enemies in Stagger windows, letting her Ultimate and drone damage overlap for enormous burst. Build her toward Intellect, Crit, Cryo DMG, and ATK, and treat her as the operator you personally pilot.
Playstyle
- Play her as the controlled operator so you can time Final Strikes and Ultimate windows precisely.
- Lead with her Battle Skill on an enemy already carrying Cryo or Nature Infliction to force Solidification and bank Ultimate Energy.
- Land a Final Strike on the Solidified target to trigger Frost-e-Bytee, then fire the Ultimate while the enemy is Staggered and Solidified.
- Keep allies that apply Cryo Infliction nearby so Freezing Point's Crit DMG bonus is always active.
Strengths
- One of the highest single-target damage ceilings in the game.
- Self-buffs Basic Attack damage and generates her own stacking Crit Rate through her Ultimate.
- Creates and benefits from Solidification, giving her strong synergy with Cryo and Nature teammates.
- Excellent at burning down bosses and elites, especially in Stagger windows.
Weaknesses
- Damage is heavily single-target, so she clears spread-out groups poorly.
- Needs teammates to provide Cryo Infliction for her doubled Freezing Point bonus and for Solidification chaining.
- Her Ultimate leaves her exposed while channeling, so it should be used inside safe Stagger or Solidify windows.
- Reaches her ceiling only with significant investment in Crit and Intellect gear.
Team Guide
bestcryo_team
Yvonne is the sole damage dealer here, and the other three slots exist to stack Cryo and Nature Infliction so she can trigger Solidification and convert those stacks into Ultimate energy. Xaihi covers buffs and sustain, Gilberta supplies Nature Infliction plus debuffs (Arcane in WILL form is a valid substitute for that slot), and Tangtang brings AoE crowd control and Arts Susceptibility to keep enemies pinned while Yvonne's Ultimate resolves.
Explanation
Yvonne consumes Infliction stacks with her Battle Skill to trigger Solidification and gain Ultimate energy.
Gilberta applies the Nature Infliction that Yvonne needs, alongside debuffs that raise her damage.
Tangtang adds crowd control and Arts Susceptibility, making the Ultimate window far safer.
Alternative: replace Gilberta with Arcane (WILL form) and follow the Arcane rotation variant.
Strengths
- Solidification plus Arts Susceptibility creates an extremely strong burst window for Yvonne.
- Crowd control from Tangtang lets Yvonne finish her Ultimate with little risk.
- Multiple buff and debuff sources stack into high effective damage.
Rotation
- 1Xaihi casts her Battle Skill to set up the Auxiliary Crystal before the fight starts.
- 2Gilberta activates her Battle Skill to begin applying Nature Infliction to the enemies.
- 3Yvonne performs a Final Strike with her basic attack chain.
- 4Yvonne casts her Battle Skill on the infused target to trigger Solidification and build Ultimate energy.
- 5Yvonne lands another Final Strike, and Xaihi uses her Ultimate if it has come off cooldown.
- 6Gilberta triggers her Combo Skill to apply Lift and set up a Shatter.
- 7Yvonne's Combo Skill reapplies Solidification right after Gilberta's combo connects.
- 8Xaihi triggers her Combo Skill to add another stack of Cryo Infliction.
- 9Tangtang triggers her Combo Skill to stack Whirlpool effects.
- 10Tangtang casts her Battle Skill to apply Arts Susceptibility to the target.
- 11Tangtang uses her Ultimate first to crowd-control the enemy group.
- 12Yvonne casts her Ultimate while the enemies are locked down.
- 13Yvonne follows up with a Dive Attack to activate Tangtang's Riot Bringer talent.
Open with Xaihi and Gilberta's Battle Skills, trigger Solidification through Yvonne's Battle Skill after Nature Infliction, layer Combo Skills, then use Tangtang's Ultimate before Yvonne's Ultimate.
elementalcryo_team
This Cryo-focused lineup is built purely around Ultimate uptime. Xaihi, Last Rite and Fluorite pile on Cryo Infliction, and Yvonne's Battle Skill consumes up to four stacks at once, converting each one into extra energy for her Ultimate. Last Rite's freeze and delayed Combo Skill also help lock enemies in place, but the ordering matters if you want all the stacks to reach Yvonne.
Explanation
Last Rite adds heavy Cryo Infliction and can freeze targets, though her Combo Skill consumes stacks after a delay.
Fluorite contributes another reliable source of Cryo Infliction for the stack count.
Xaihi buffs the team and supplies additional Cryo Infliction through her skills.
Time Yvonne's Battle Skill before Last Rite's Combo Skill resolves so she receives every stack.
Strengths
- Very high Cryo Infliction density translates directly into more Ultimates for Yvonne.
- Freeze effects from Last Rite keep the target in place during the damage window.
- Simple, repeatable gameplan with a clear stack-and-consume loop.
Rotation
- 1Xaihi and Last Rite cast their Battle Skills to prepare the Auxiliary Crystal and Hypothermic Perfusion.
- 2Yvonne performs a Final Strike while the buffs are active.
- 3Last Rite casts her Battle Skill again to gain a second Hypothermic Perfusion buff.
- 4Yvonne lands another Final Strike.
- 5Xaihi triggers her Combo Skill to add a stack of Cryo Infliction.
- 6Fluorite triggers her Combo Skill for further Cryo pressure.
- 7Xaihi uses her Ultimate if ready, then Last Rite triggers her Combo Skill to freeze the enemy.
- 8Yvonne casts her Battle Skill before Last Rite's delayed Combo Skill resolves, consuming all four Cryo stacks and applying Solidification.
- 9Yvonne's next basic attack becomes an instant Final Strike thanks to her Barrage of Technology talent.
- 10Yvonne triggers her Combo Skill to reapply Solidification and extend the crowd control.
- 11Yvonne casts her Ultimate to convert the stacked setup into damage.
Stack up to four Cryo Inflictions with Xaihi, Last Rite and Fluorite, then have Yvonne consume them with her Battle Skill before Last Rite's Combo Skill resolves.
alternativecryo_teamburst_team
A debuff-heavy burst composition. Gilberta and Perlica layer Corrosion and Electrification on the target while Xaihi keeps Yvonne buffed, so her Ultimate lands on a fully weakened enemy for maximum damage. The trade-off is that this team generates very little Cryo or Nature Infliction, meaning Yvonne gains less Ultimate energy and fires her Ultimate less often, even though each cast hits harder.
Explanation
Perlica applies Electrification, which stacks with the team's other debuffs during the burst window.
Gilberta provides Nature Infliction for Solidification and later applies Corrosion.
Xaihi keeps Yvonne buffed so the Ultimate hits as hard as possible.
Choose this team when you want a single massive damage window rather than frequent Ultimates.
Strengths
- Stacking Electrification, Corrosion, Solidification and Arts Susceptibility maximizes single-window damage.
- Gilberta's channel also groups enemies so the Ultimate hits multiple targets.
Weaknesses
- Low Cryo and Nature Infliction output means Yvonne gains less Ultimate energy and has worse Ultimate uptime.
- The payoff depends on having Yvonne's Ultimate ready before the debuff window opens.
Rotation
- 1Xaihi casts her Battle Skill first to prepare the Auxiliary Crystal.
- 2Gilberta uses her Battle Skill to channel and gather the enemies together.
- 3Yvonne completes a basic attack string into a Final Strike, consuming one crystal charge; Xaihi uses her Ultimate if available.
- 4Once Gilberta's Battle Skill has applied Nature Infliction, Yvonne casts her Battle Skill to consume it and apply Solidification.
- 5Yvonne performs another Final Strike.
- 6Perlica triggers her Combo Skill to apply Electrification to the target.
- 7Gilberta triggers her Combo Skill before Xaihi triggers hers.
- 8Xaihi triggers her Combo Skill to add more debuffs to the enemy.
- 9Gilberta casts her Ultimate if available to apply Corrosion, and Yvonne lands another Final Strike.
- 10Yvonne triggers her Combo Skill to reapply Solidification.
- 11Xaihi uses her Ultimate if ready, then Yvonne casts her Ultimate against the fully debuffed enemy.
Prepare Xaihi's crystal, channel Gilberta to group enemies, then layer Electrification, Corrosion and Solidification so Yvonne's Ultimate lands on a fully debuffed target.
f2pcryo_teamf2plow_investmentbeginner
A budget-friendly setup that still leans on Cryo Infliction and Solidification. Snowshine is a free unit who covers sustain while adding Cryo stacks, Estella (or Fluorite) supplies the additional Cryo Infliction, and Alesh handles SP generation, with Akekuri as an alternative if Alesh is unavailable. The goal is to have enemies frozen and Solidified before Yvonne's Ultimate lands so the damage spike is not wasted.
Explanation
Snowshine is a free character who provides sustain as well as Cryo Infliction.
Estella or Fluorite can fill the second support slot for extra Cryo stacks.
Alesh generates SP for the team; Akekuri is a workable substitute if you lack her.
Strengths
- Uses accessible units while still enabling the full Cryo Infliction and Solidification loop.
- Snowshine covers both sustain and Cryo application, freeing a slot for damage support.
Rotation
- 1Estella opens with her Battle Skill to apply Cryo Infliction while Yvonne uses basic attacks.
- 2Yvonne casts her Battle Skill to apply Solidification on the inflicted enemy.
- 3Yvonne lands a Final Strike before the Solidification shatters, saving her Combo Skill for later.
- 4Estella triggers her Combo Skill.
- 5Estella uses her Ultimate to add damage to the setup.
- 6Snowshine uses her Ultimate to provide sustain and extra Cryo.
- 7Yvonne triggers her Combo Skill to reapply crowd control.
- 8Alesh triggers his Combo Skill to support the team.
- 9Yvonne casts her Ultimate while the enemy is still frozen, timing the Final Strike for maximum damage.
- 10Yvonne keeps using basic attacks until her Ultimate animation ends, then repeat the cycle.
Apply Cryo Infliction with Estella, trigger Solidification with Yvonne's Battle Skill, stack buffs and sustain, then finish with Yvonne's Ultimate on a frozen enemy.
Team Insights
Yvonne acts as the team's main damage dealer and is built entirely around consuming Cryo and Nature Infliction stacks. Her Battle Skill eats those stacks to trigger Solidification and generate Ultimate energy, so every other slot exists to feed her inflictions, buffs and debuffs. Xaihi appears in nearly all of her strongest lineups, while the remaining slots flex between Gilberta, Arcane, Tangtang, Last Rite, Fluorite, Perlica, or budget picks such as Estella, Alesh, Akekuri and Snowshine depending on what you own and how much investment you can commit.
Synergy Patterns
- Xaihi provides both buffs and Cryo Infliction, making her the default partner in almost every Yvonne composition.
- Gilberta applies Nature Infliction for Solidification and debuffs for damage; swapping to Arcane's WILL form changes the rotation but keeps the same goal.
- Tangtang adds crowd control and Arts Susceptibility so Yvonne's Ultimate can be completed safely.
- Last Rite and Fluorite rapidly stack Cryo Infliction, which converts directly into extra Ultimate energy for Yvonne.
- Perlica's Electrification combined with Gilberta's Corrosion defines the burst lineup's damage window.
Tips
- In the burst lineup, place Perlica ahead of Yvonne in the team menu so Electrification is applied first, and put Xaihi before Gilberta to trigger Corrosion.
- With Last Rite, make sure Yvonne's Battle Skill lands before Last Rite's delayed Combo Skill so all four Cryo stacks go to Yvonne.
- Snowshine is a free unit who covers both sustain and Cryo Infliction, which is ideal for lower-investment teams.
- The burst composition trades Ultimate frequency for raw damage, so it struggles when Cryo and Nature Infliction are scarce.
- Always try to have the enemy Solidified or frozen before Yvonne's Ultimate so the Final Strike lands during the crowd-control window.
